PRUDENZIA. The mare who keeps on giving. This year the listed-winning daughter of Dansili had her eighth yearling in nine years sell at Arqana, her daughter by Dubawi realising €1,625,000 from Sheikh Mohammed’s Godolphin, the bidding being conducted by Anthony Stroud.

This was the first time for Sheikh Mohammed to buy an offspring of Prudenzia, and by paying the sale top price he brought the average achieved by the eight yearlings to more than €1 million. Prudenzia struck gold when her first foal, the Montjeu filly Chicquita, won the Group 1 Irish Oaks and sold as a three-year-old for €6 million as part of the Paulyn dispersal at Goffs.
